Red Squirrel Alarm and Bark Calls

Amazing sounds of a mother Red Squirrel giving the alarm call followed by furious barking call when her nest is discovered. Crank up the volume and enjoy! - Clearly they are the boss of the forest. Squirrels and chipmunks (which are really squirrels) makes some of the most unusual sounds in northern forests.

That is so sweet how mama is on top protecting her little ones inside. Those babies are so sweet. Cuteness overload 🥰👍🥰🥰

[@kristeyh937]

Oh how I miss red squirrels! Thank you for sharing this!

[@PetNoble]

Oh, my God! Expressive attractive faces children and how they look at the raged mommy is peerless scene, dear BB! I really enjoying! When I see squirrels, my heart melts! :) Thank you for the pleasure! Hugs!

[@MyBackyardBirding]

+Валентина Говорушкина I'm so glad you enjoyed them - I am hoping we will have many healthy baby Red Squirrels this fall - they are so loud and expressive - but not the big ear tufts like your red squirrels! BB

[@ovaenorez9122]

Confirming that a few of these friends live in my backyard :,) I am honored

[@Akasnacker]

Wow the sounds are so cute the expressions are so cute these animals are so awesome! Thanks 👍

[@miked4309]

chipmunks and rabbits are too...i love these little animals..

[@teijaalanko5165]

Oih. Loveble video animals. Very sweet. Thank you🌅😄🍃🍃🌻🐿

[@KennethKramm]

Awesome. Amazing communication .... "warning, people are here!!!" Thanks for posting this great video clip.

[@MyBackyardBirding]

+KennethKramm Thanks Ken - most of the scary sounds in the deep woods are really squirrels ;-) BB

[@nicholefrank6770]

This is absolutely darling!

[@MusicalMissCapri]

Their vocalizations aren't nearly so threatening as the growl of a gray squirrel, but man these little red squirrels are 5 times more aggressive and tough.

[@Kristin2885]

The little red squirrels rule my neighbourhood and chase off all the grey squirrels. Two years ago I was feeding a stray cat, and the red squirrels got into it and started liking the dry cat food too. I actually witnessed one squirrel approach the cat while she was eating and bully her off her food bowl. Luckily there were two bowls and for about five minutes, both cat and squirrel sat side by side, eating. When the cat went to a rescue for adoption, and the food went away, the squirrel angrily tore apart the little shelter I'd built like a tiny red pitbull. It was hilarious. Nobody wants to mess with the reds. They're very spirited!

[@timmountain9179]

Wow. I LOVE - and I mean L-O-V-E - this video. Thank you, MyBackyardBirding for another winner!!!!!

[@Thrall079]

Having only grey squirrels in my area, I did not expect the rapid fire squeeks

[@CentralCanada]

Yed, if they're the eastern grey squirrels (grey/brown/black/cinnamon colour variants) they carry a disease that wiped out majority of our native reds almost a century ago, due to a foolish zoo official importing some specimens of the EGS from eastern Canada, and later sloppily allowed some to leave their confinements, culling the native reds as the city grew along with good conditions for the EGSs. .... :-(

Me too. Funny as hell.

[@mpg869]

These are pretty tame. I got one half the size of these that literally stares me down and charges while barking and spitting out sunflower kernels

[@AnkesWorld]

is soooo cute, so many thanks for this

[@MyBackyardBirding]

+Anke Heldmann Thanks Anke! BB

[@annaburgett1152]

I love how it moves its tail when it chatters lol

[@braydenpaulk5079]

Saw one of these at Rocky fork state park in Tennessee today!

[@mishterpreshident]

We have both greys and reds around my home. The reds are more aggressive, even though they're half the size of a grey. I've seen a tiny red chasing away 3 greys who were running for their lives. The funniest thing, with the reds in particular, is that they squeak as a result of moving. One of my little reds will get skittish and run off, and what you hear as she runs is, "squeak, squeak, squeak" in time with the footsteps. And they're FAST. It's pretty amusing to see & hear.

I love these guys! I could watch and listen all day! We have Red Squirrels here, they look exactly like yours but I thought they lived underground??? I live in Ontario, Canada.

[@MusicalMissCapri]

No, these squirrels live in trees. The ground squirrels don't have such bushy tails, and some have been described as looking like over-grown mice. :)

[@johnnycmajor]

Ya won't love them when the get in your attic and start to chew wires causing a fire.

[@donatellohamato8666]

@@johnnycmajor actually I still would. But I would be frustrated and try to take precautions to stop it from happening again.

Red squirrels communicate via morse code: CONFIRMED!

[@SquirrelASMR]

Aww such a cute my babies!

[@terrynb1922]

Was this red squirrel down in Central Florida? I don't think I've ever seen a red squirrel in the wild other than videos of other places where red squirrels are more popular.

Thanks for posting this great video. These animal alway are very alert! R.

[@MyBackyardBirding]

+Rüdiger Hartmann Thanks! Nothing escapes their attention. BB

[@spaceblank4258]

0:41 cool how the baby squirrel changes it’s tone when it hears the crow

[@mackhomie6]

Space Blank all I hear is that same ridiculous squirrel. They make that same sound here whenever I walk down the driveway. They are actually super good at getting away

[@seanliver593]

My Shar pei gets all worked up when I play this lol he wants to chase all the varmints

[@michaelcline3123]

in smyth county VA -- we call these BOOMERS. they live mostly in pine trees. and can make a BRRRR sound, like there cold. plus I've had them get over top of me in a tree. and drop cuttings on me. little varmits

[@l3lackStarLiner_GameBoy]

yeah..!! this is what I wanna see BB.. :D

[@MyBackyardBirding]

+MURDA DA GB I thought you'd like this. Late summer and fall is squirrel activity season!

[@williammitchell1864]

That one squirrel chattering is fussing at those two other squirrels and the one on top didn't like what he said and he's barking right back at the squirrel that was first barking.

[@Herebrand]

Now I know for sure what is in my crawl space. Now I need to figure out where he's getting in and how to make sure he leaves for good.

[@SUPERGENKI]

[@vinwray1732]

Is the noise right at the beginning the squirrel to? or the animal that's discovered them?

[@MyBackyardBirding]

+Vin Ray That's also a Red Squirrel - their alarm call. BB

[@vinwray1732]

+MyBackyardBirding Thanks for the reply, i really wanted to see the American Reds, ive read there are none in Florida (my holiday destination next year) one day ill get to see them.

[@MyBackyardBirding]

Vin Ray It is true there are no Red Squirrels in Florida. The Great Smoky Mountains is at the very southern end of their range. Chipmunks are also not found in Florida. BB

[@mls9690]

I hear them a lot when watching the Audubon Osprey Nest on Hog Island, ME. Someone on chat said the sound was coming from red squirrels so I had to check out this video. That's the sound I am hearing. I thought it was a bird. Thanks for posting MBB and for asking Vin Wray!

[@leahharrington3824]

I'm trying to communicate with the squirrel in the walls 😂

[@Anna-gj1ts]

I saw a red squirel at the park running up and down a tree doing this totally panicked. Walked around the other side and saw a big mean white cat sitting on top of a stone wall

[@photoman2004]

It gets old fast if you have a cabin in a coniferous forest

[@troublepaws2505]

Bruh it sounds like my laugh😂😂😂

[@miketobin2324]

Red squirrels get angry easily because they have all those teeth, and no toothbrush....

[@Ohdeer12]

What is that making the noise in the beginning? That isn’t the squirrel is it?

[@Matt-df3zm]

These things can be annoying little buggers when you are out hunting, but they can also help.

[@MyBackyardBirding]

+Matthew Daigneau They know what's going on in the forest!

[@vinantihegde8519]

😍😍

[@mackhomie6]

what's really impressive about the gray squirrels is that when you have a gun, instead of running to the tops of the trees or running away from you through the trees they will actually run down going sometimes within Arm's Reach of you, because they know that that's the only way he won't have a shot. I've stood at the bottom with my arms out in a bear hug type position to scare them away from going that route and they will take their chances instead of staying up there on the branches.

[@chubbyKiD1012]

why are they grey not red

[@tommatt2ski]

Ann foster , I believe the young red squirrels are born practically hairless, then grow into the grey coat that they have on the video,.The fur changes to red as the squirrel reaches maturity.

[@emanuelezarba2281]

A man posted a video where he shoots at them because They damage their proprety...Insane People. I hope this Kind of unfair hunters are disappearing in America

[@colinl5951]

16g shotgun does wonders for that noise. 22 lr bird shot works on wood siding. Damage red squirrels do to property and grey squirrels is sad.

yes Tyler, I play it and the squirrels reply in seconds. works great.

[@unionrdr]

Also known by the old timers as, " fairydiddles". Bad ones that'll castrate fox, grey & other squirrels goin up a tree. Kills the others to gain territory. They're bad & need to be kept down. I like how the nuthatch is makin like, " nanner nanner nanner..." lol

[@MyBackyardBirding]

The Reds rule the forest and its all about attitude. I can't believe the big grays let them get away with it!

[@unionrdr]

The Fairydiddles are faster! That seems to be the main reason.

You have to keep trees away from the roof - check out the latest red squirrel video - they are tough little guys! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3epi4CqiraHn9E

[@MusicalMissCapri]

Not so cute when they chase all the other wildlife away, either, including other squirrels twice their size. :) Or when they walk halfway across the kitchen floor to get the food one puts out there to see how bold they are. Yikes. I'm caught between adoring and fearing this species of squirrel. If they were tame, calm, and affectionate, I'd love the heck out of them. But - they are not.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

you have to find where they get into yourattic and fix your structure permanently and not with a cheap material or they'll destroy it easily. Once they've been inside one time they will try hard to get back there. Don't do anything else because it will only solve the problem temporarily. Trapping them or hurting them is stupid and will not solve the problem as more will come. You have to fix your house.

Tough indeed. One just took a point blank wadcutter pellet to the head and was still breathing when I got to it
